now save it as "pagination.php" {NOTE: be sure to also put the quotes so that notepad saves the file correctly, otherwise, it may save it as pagination.php.txt and we dont need the .txt at the end] now upload to your website which has PHP and test run it so see how it work.

we hope you liked this pagination php function. there are other ways to make page links for example, you can have pagination in jsp and also make javascript pagination, even pagination on wordpress. you can also have static pagination in css i have seen pagination in some joomla sites which use pagination in rails. next we are going to make ajax pagination. Ajax is more advanced because it uses javascript and PHP. visit us soon for an update.
